Printer module having print-head moving mechanism

Abstract

A printer module includes a frame body, a drum, a print head and a print-head moving mechanism. The drum is detachably connected to the frame body. The print-head moving mechanism movably connected to the frame body moves the print head in a horizontal direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of gravity exerted on the print-head moving mechanism. The print-head moving mechanism includes: a shaft rotatably connected to the frame body; an actuating rod connected to the shaft and rotated to rotate the shaft; and an actuating member connected to shaft and rotated with rotation of the shaft, so that the print head is moved between a first position and a second position. Thus, the volume occupied by the printer module can be reduced, the user's operation can be simplified, the influence and interference of the gravity can further be eliminated to simplify the design of the print-head moving mechanism.
